US TICE IS PES A 7. TESTE aBAT'S SESSIONS or THE rOLICE COURT. The ease of Charles Harmer and Joseph Baxtlett, for burglary and larceny, was examined yesterday, and so great was tha interest manifested in it that the court room was completely filled with attentive spectators. The prisoners were arraigned and through their counsel, Mr. F.

B. Perkins plead not guilty to the! charge. The examination tended to show that Harmer had been seen to leave Anna Bartlett's house early Friday morning, the time of tha robbery, go to Mr. Dudley's houre on West Eagle street and disappear in the doorway of the basement. These facts were sworn to by Patrolman Soule, of the First Precinct.

They came on account of the finding and recovery of the property npon Mrs. Bartlett's premises. The evidence against Harmer waa pretty conclusive, and Justice Vanderpoel committed him to jail to await triaL The lad, Joseph Bartlett was discharged. Charles King, who, it will be remembered, ran away with Mr. James S.

Lyon's horse and chtter, and attempted to sell the lap robe to Mr. James Murphy one day last week, waa brought np to answer a charge of grand larceny. He plead guilty, and was fully committed for trial. A striking proof of the explosivener of feminine temper occurred Tuesday night in the case of Lena Howard and Mary Grose as against Jennie Chambers. The latter received a positive demonstration of the ability of her companions to change th color of the human eye from blue to black The case will come up for further examina tion.

Here's the afternoon's do'ngs "Ring the bell, Jake," said the magis tate. But nary Jake was there to ring. So another man stepped up right straight, aud in loud accents out did sing, "Silencs in the Co-o-o-rt." "Hats off, you lubbers," was loudly cried and then the throng outside the rail, just settled themselves their time to bide, expectant of fun, without fail, Willing In tha Co-o-o rt. Here the machine broke down it will grind equal to tho best hand organ that ever adorned the front of The Churches, when the ordinary metro stops are pulled out. but when John undertook to make it go through with such a metre as two nines and two eights to a verse with a tail piece, it wouldn't work.

And so they brought in Chi-ca go Bil-ly, who is a ve-ry bad boy. Chi ca-go Bd-ly'i name is not Chi-ca go Bil-ly, it is Mor-ri son, but they call him Chi ca go Bil-ly for short: and as I said be-fore, he is a bad boy. He was up for "dead beat-ing." is "on the dead beat." He got twen-ty seven dol lars and board (that isacrub, not lum-ber) from Ma ry A. Mor-gan, un-der false pre-ten-ses. They will send Chi-ca-go Bil-ly up.

Not make an au-gel him; not by no man-ner of means, rath-er tho otb-er thing, you know. He will be at the Po lice Court a -gain for cx-am-i-na- tion. And then the Court stop-ped try -ing and went off to be tried its-self be-fore Judge Whe-lan's throne of jus tice. That's all. COURTS OF LA W.

CONCERT AND CKAJtATIC PEKrOElf A3TCK. A charitable entertainment to announced to come off at St. James Hall this evening for tba benefit of tha poor under tha care of St. Vincent da Paul Society. Tha claims of this society on tBe public are worthy of approval; it is composed of gentlemen who not only visit personally tha homes of poverty, bat are constantly relieving its wants from their own private means.

The present Winter has developed a deal of destitution and distress, and the applicants for alms have been greater than any previous year; hence this appeaL But aside from the consciousness of doings charitable act every purchaser of a ticket must prepare himself for a rich treat. Soma of the best amateur talent of the city will assist in the concert and dramatis representation, Mr. Joseph Mischka will preside at ths piano, and the whole will be under the supervision of that moat affable gentleman, Dr. Crony n. That favorite of all theatre goers, Ben.

O. Rogers, has volunteered, and will sustain the character of Felix O'Catlagha in the farce "On His Last Legs." We have no doubt the bouse will be filled, and would advise all to go early and secure seats. The tickets have been placed at the low price of twenty-five cents; reserved seats fifty cents.

A very large audience assembled at Dr. Lord's Church last even mg on the occasion of the concert given in aid of the widow of the late Pro fesser William Krausskopf. The body of the chnrch was filled, and quite a handsome amount mnst have been realized. The en tertainment was carried out as announced in the programme published yesterday, ami consisted of a varied selection of solos quartettes, The different parts were taken by leading home musicians, and were quite up to the standard. Space will not permit of a specific mention each; and to particularize one, and not another would be gross injustice.

All san well, and it was an entertainment whit- one fond of music could not but enjoy. We must take, however, exception to the cold neBS which seemed to pervade the audience. From the beginning to the end of the pro gramme not one burst of applause or encore was given to those si richly deserving it. Perhaps the idea of being in a church re strained the enthusiastic irom expressing their feelings; but inasmuch as it was dt voted to secular purposos there could be no impropriety in applauding those who did their parts so well. ACUTE OBSERVATIONS ON MEN, If OMEN AS THINGS.

SO. 1, BT JL'STITIA. HE TAKES A WALK. Yesterday being one of thoao smiling days of Winter, which a resident of this clime seldom sees, it occurred to Justitia that a walk around town would not be ilia agreeable. Ha had not gone far, however, when he found out his mistake.

If there ever was a pcriouVwhen was a discount and when the euj yments of gay turn out cainj to tho mind in most vivid forms, it was yesterday. They whore business compelled them to walk any dis tance on tho slippery, icy, slide around streets, such as Buffalo presented them have the sincerest sympathies of the afore said J. Well, ho started out. Now he has al ways considered himsclt quite a wa.aist He has in a quiet way, on every appearance of the famous Weston, in this city, contest ed quite a number of miles with him. He has always managed to keep np with him in these tramp, but whether by walking cr otherwibe he will not now state.

He pro ceeded ou his way en several different streets, and, although he has always been noted as a very moral young man, yester lay proved him doubly so. "Sinueis stand on slippery places." Not so Justitia. several occasions during the voyage he, just for fun, thought he would make an obstr vation as to how much of tho sidewalk bis body could cover. It is perhaps needless to say that he is fully satisfied with the re suits of his observations and will not repeat them voluntarily. Habits of observation were fastened npon J.

in his early youth. They were not ex actly such habits as are fastened to youngsters with pins and other similar attach ments, but became a part and parcel of his gigantic intellect. He always kept his eyes cpen, and after making a few observations such as described in the foregoing paragraph, ho gazed around upon the beauties of nature and art presented to him in the streets of Buffalo. In one place he actually found a Iligf;) keeping store. And Las it come to this Oh my countrymen, thought what an age ot lmprovtmeiit we live in In our halls of legislation the dusky son of Africa holds forth, wh Je here even a Hog(g) is admitted to fellowship.

With these thoughts he passed on, but had not proceed far when a reat Lip(p) was presented to view. What next At any rate there is a good deal of Lip(p) to that man, soliloquized J. Reflecting on the oddities of human na ture, and the miseries of mankind in general, be trudged along. Street after street was passed full of busy scenes. Suddenly he was startled.

Rigtt before him had been erected a pedestal, surmounted by a small section of pine lumber, on which was inscribed, This bous and lott for sale." Well, said if that bouse and lot needs as much improving as the sign does, it certainly must be in a very bad condition. Just then a friendly greeting was wafted to the walkist from a passing conveyance, and the train of thoughts which were pass, ing through the mind of Justitia were inter rupted, and he bid adieu to the subjects which formed such interesting topics for reverie.

While perambulating his beat shortly after threeo'clock sounds of great commotion were heard issuing from a aalooa oa Michigan street known as Wilson's Homestead, and oa repairing to that institution he found one William Kane, a drover, ia a glorious state of inebriety, smashing tumblers, pitchers and other personal property indiscriminately, with accompanying yells of "murder," "fire," "polioe," etc. Officer Bancroft at once took charge of Kane and started for the stationhonse with him, but had scarcely got outside when ha was set npon by three other men, also known to be cattle drivers, who made a rush at him, knocked him over, wrenched his clnh away, and beat and kicked him unmercifully, at tha same time shooting to tha prisoner, git, Bill, git." Bill profited by their fraternal ad vice, and got" to the best of his ability, but the ruffians soon fonnd they bad tackled a man of invincible intrepidity. At Fort Harrison, according to Genera! Butler's report. Lieutenant Samuel Ban croft displayed the most undaunted bravery; ahot desperately through the hips, he crawled along on hands and knees, waring hia sword and cheering on his company, of which seventy-nine out of eighty-seven men were shot down. Thinking only of securing his prisoner, he forced himself away from his assailants and made after Kane, np Michigan street; with shouts and ourses the three made toward him again, when he stopped, drew his revolver and fired; the middle man clapped his hands to bis side and staggered, when the other two immediately helped him away, and Bancroft saw nothing more of them.

Continuing after his escaping prisoner he overtook him and again started him to the station, but after progressing favorably a little way Kane again broke away and ran. Bancroft ung out to him to stop or he would fire; Mr. Kane preferred to keep on and Mr. Bancroft fired toward him; Mr. Kane did not relish the whistling of bullets and immediately came to a stand still when the officer again laid hold of him.

Officer Bancroft, during the melee, made repeated calls and signals for assistance, but, from some unexplained cause none offered. At the corner of Elm and Batavia streets a reinforcement was found in the person of Officer Morrow, and between them Kane was at last brought to Station No. 3, the transit from Michigan street having occupied upwards of an hour. Yesterday morning he was tried at the Watchhouse Court and fined fifteen dollars for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. The scoundrels who made the murderous arsault on the officer have not yet been captured.

Bancroft feels pretty sore vet, but still holds himself a match for all tho rascals who may wish to pile on him. If ho is to be considered a fair sample of Captain Reinhardt's battalion, the peace and welfare of the Third Precinct is entrusted to able and willing men. A DUO STORY. A CANINE AS AN ADVLHTI3INO MEDIUMr Among the numerous tales of canine sagacity, now afloat in the newspapertorial xphere, the following, as being both true and novel, is entitled to prominent consid eration Mr. of this city is an ardent admirer of the intelligent species of quadrupeds and he has, as the especial pets of his household, two very fine spaniels.

About two weeks ago he took both of them out of town and coming back on the cars at night one of the animals enaconsed itself upon the seat and went to sleep while the other took a rambling tour of the car. When the train stopped in the depot the owner picked up the sleepy spaniel, and, whistling for the other, without looking around, stepped off the platform and started for home, supposing, of course, that "Brownie" was following him. But such he soon ascertained was not the case. "Brownie" waa not following him, neither was the little fellow in sight. Mr.

whistled again and again but to no effect, fie retraced his steps and went back to the lepot but could find nothing of the missing dog, and wi therefore obliged to go home without it. The next morning he sat down in his study to write an advertisement for the papers; "Brownie's" mate "Veloc," as he is called, walked disconsolately about tho room evidently at a loss to ao- count for ths other's absence. Mr. framed several formulas before he got an advertisement that suited him, and then brushing the scraps into his waste basket, put the other in bis hat and left the room. When he again entered the apartment he found the waste basket overturned and "Veloc" gone.

Not thinking any thing of the circumstance he put on hia -ii and, "man-like" as the ladies say, forget all about his advertisement. At no he made an engagement to go to Lockport, and af-warda found it necessary to remain in that city over night. He took the forenoon train back and arrived here at about half-past ten o'clock and the very first objects thsfceaoght his eye as he alighted from the cars were his two spaniels standing contentedly there in the depot gazing at the passengers, each one with a small bit of paper banging from be tween his lips. Both sprang eagerly to meet their master, and stooping down he took tha paper from their months and found tha bits to be tha two halves of one -f bis scrap advertisements. When he got t-o his hoasa he learned that Veloc had hot been about the premises since tho pre vious morning, consequently tha only infer ence that can be drawn to that the sagacious little fellow having full faith in the potency of advertising armed himself with one of tho documents from the waste bas ket and started out for his lost mate Where he found birn nobody knows, but the advertisement evidently did tha business.

Impecunious gentlemen of leisure have been busily occupying themselves of lata in making a collection of lap robes, and so dilligently have they pursued their Vocation that business men find it quite impracticable to leave their cutters or sleighs standing in tha street alone for even five minutes.

Duryig the last month about a dozen complaints have been made at the Police Headquarters and stationhouses to ths effect that "a valuable fur robe was stolen from Mr. So and So's sleigh while standing in front of his office (or house) yesterday." In consideration of these repeated complaints the police in general have for some time been keeping a sharp look out for the thieves, and on Tuesday afternoon officers Frawley and Wolf, of the First Precinct, got upon the track of a man who had been teen carrying a fnr Lap-robe under hia arm, on Peacock street. They followed up their clue and found enough to warrant the arrest of Michael lease and Alexander McGuire. It was discovered that these two men had from time to time sold four robes worth from twenty-five to fifty dollars apiece to a man named bimonds, who lives at the corner ef Peacock and Evans streets The fact that they took seventy-five cents for a robe worth $50, twelve shillings for another, a dollar for another, and so on, indicates at once that they had stolen the articles. The officers conveyed the prison- era and also the property to the statioc-honss Tuesday evening.

The men were locked up and the robes are exposed for i Jen tifi cation. A 11 sons who are lost su ch articles are requested to call and examine them. There are two or three other valuable skins which have been stolen lately that the officers are still in search of. One prominent citizeo lost a sleigh robe worth $150 a few days since, but nothing has yet transpired to either make known the thief or reveal the whereabouts of the property. The arrests Tuesday night, however, may possibly lead to further discoveries.

The Coroner read to the jury an affidavit of Nicholas Blciis, setting forth the facts as far as he hia bucn able to give them, which was received as testimony. The statement of Mr. Bless is as follows I am a cigar maker, and live with my wife and children at the corner of East Market and Fulton streets; the accident occurred on the morning of the 31st of January, between two and three o'clock; I went to bed at half-past ten o'clock in the room back of the bar-room, leaving the lamp burning on the table aud turned low; at one o'clock I got np again to wait on my child, then turned the lamp down again and went back to bed; was awakened by the explosion; my wife took out the youn-est child and I the eldest, Lomse, two years aud a half old; sho died at saveu o'clock that morning; we buy kerosene oil at Trautmann's; generally half a gallon at a time, fur which we pay twenty cents; the last was bought Saturday iiiyht; 1 have never had ai.y t-lk with Trautmanu in regard to the safety of his oil; the lamp was tided Sunday night, and was full when 1 weut to bed. Dr. Deorge Ayer testified that he was called to attend the burned family soon aftar the aocident; the little girl Liuise was burned from bead to foot; completely skinned; the burns were superficial; not det-p, but just enough to tke the tkin off; the man was burned very badly about the head, neck, arms and hands; but the Doctor thought would with proper care recover; Bless was badly burned, but not so dangeroufcly as her husbaud; the other child was but little hurt.

Katy Backus, who, with her husband, resided with tho Bins family, was the next ltntn had nothing to do with the lamps, aud did not know whether they had been filled and trimmed that night or not; sho put the children to bed at eight o'clock, and soon after retired hernelf, leaving Mr. and Mrs. Bless and ono of the boarders at the table reading; she was wakened by her husband, who told her the house waa on fire; they went down sta rs, but finding the room full of smoke and tire turned back aud went out of the window to a ueighboiing roof, and from thence to the street; her husband went to Trautinann's for the oil Saturday night. Louis A. Orpiner, who lives at the oppo site corner from Bless, was awakened by the cry of fire, and looking over toward the house saw the room apparently hlied with fire.

He immediately ran down to tho street and met Mr. and Mrs. Bless, aud carried ber into the house aud laid her in the bed; the clothes and skta were completely burned from her body; she died at seven o'clock. Andrew M. Johnson, grocer, at No.

72 Main street, testified that on Wednesday Mr. Trautmanu brought him a sample of oil which he said Crass Co. had sold to a neighbor, and asked him to have it tested; it would not stand 90; he thought it contained some foreign substance, naptha, or something of the kind. J. P.

Dudley, oil refiner, at No. 55 Main street, explained the practice of distillation and testing; he considered oil that would not stand a fire test of 9J highly danger- Frank J. Trautmann, grocer on West Market street, was the next witness. He had sold oil to the Bless family ever since they resided in the neighborhood; the last they sent for was Saturday night or Sunday morning; he drew the oil from a sixty gallon can in which he kept it, and put it into a stone jug which Bless always sent to get it in; be did not know if the jug was empty orr not; he received a barrel of oil from Grass Co. January 25tfc; pumped it into his can and sent the barrel back the next day without noticing the inspectors brand was upon it.

Alter the accident he sent the oil nack again to Uress A refinery on William street; a sample ot it was tested by Inspec tor Reicbert on Monday; Tuesday he received another barrel of oil from Grass A ana noticea that me nre teat was marked at 116. Louis P. Reichert, Oil Inspector for the city, was next sworn: He explained the manner of testing, and described the instru ments used: on Monday Mr. Trautmann, with Mr. Yager, of the firm of Grass A brought him a sample of the oil from Trautmann's can and requested him to test It; it took tire at 93 he was in the habit of visiting Grass ft Co.

'a yrisiery once or twice a week for tie purposkrvl testing their oil; he generally tested a sample from the tank and placed his brand on the empty barrels, relying oa the honor of the brm that they woo id fill them with oil of the proper standard; be had never found thetr oil below the lira test, and knew the firm to enjoy a good reputation.

Path Plat tor tub Erie A correspondent of tha Cincinnati comes to the rescna of the Lne Koad against the army of detractors. He is heartily sick, and 'reasonably an, of the fuss and misrep- resentations of the press concerning this road anil its management, and thinks it has reoeived anything but "fair play." In support of his convictions, ho relates Lis recent experience, which is daily that of i thousands of others, and from which we extract the following: "I have recently returned to Cincinnati from the.

East over this line, and all I to say is. that if the F.rio is badly managed. 1 wish all the roads in the country were badly managed too. It is, without any exception, the most comforta ble line I ever traveled ovor. A ere por tion of its track has been recently furnished with new rails: and a railroad superm temlent, whose ability and judgment has been acquired by thirty years experience, assured me that he never in his mhole life rodo over a smoother or safer track than that from New York to Cincinnati by this rout.

Ho is not interested in the line, and would have hardly given so warm commendation unless it were deserved. I certainly never waa in coaches more elegant in adornment, substantial in structure, or easy in motion, while for safety the fact stands out that in the last year but one passenger, out of car ried over the Atlantic and Great Western portion of tha route, lost his life, and be, oonfeasedly, by his own negligence. On the whole way homeward I watched the adver tised time table closely, and have never, in considerable travel, seen ono adhered to so olosely and certainly. In short, I waa never on a better, and I think 1 never was on so good a line of road before." St. Louii Timet.

SiwnrLAK Murder. A day or two be fore the last mail left England a strange affair occurred in a private hotel in Kins- bury, London. The inhabitants of the house were aroused at dead of night by the crashing of glass. The landlady went down stairs, and met the night porter, named Spinas, (a German), at the top of the kitchen stairs. He called out, "Don't go down the devil ia there A policeman was called, and, upon entering i small room in which Spinas slept, a horri bis spectacle presented itself.

Lying on ber back, with her features all beaten in and sashed. tha eyes running into the cheeks and into one another," was the body of a woman I Her dress was tore, bloody and disarranged. She had evidently fought desperately for her life, and in one of her bands a few dark hairs were found, corres ponding to the hair of Spinas. No one could tell at hrat who she was, or whence she came. But the announcement of the discovery ia the newspapers led to her identification.

She waa a girl from the country, young and pretty, who baa taken to a dissolute life. Spinas must have met her, taken her to the room in question, and there beaten her to death with empty champagne bottles. Ho was arrested and it ia a comfort to know that if he ia found guilty of the crime no political influence will suffice to save him from the gallows. A Lady Killed While Sitting in Her Room Sun rounded bt Her Children. A most terrible and diabolical murder occurred on Thurday night of last week in Brunswick County, Virginia, the unfortunate victim being Mrs.

Kawlings, wife of Bassett Rawlings. Tha circumstances of the murder are thus narrated; About seven o'clock on Thursday night, while Mrs. Rawlings was sitting in front of the Are in her room, with soma of her children sitting neir her, a shot was fired from an uuseen band through window in the rear of Mrs Kawlings, the whole load (slugs) taking effect just below the shoulder of the unfortunate victim, killing her almost instantly. The murderer made his eacape without being seen. Mr.

Kawlings arrived at home from court, where he had been attending through the day, little after tha oocur-renae, te find his wife corpse and his motherless children weeping over tba dead. Suspicion rested on one Harrison Hem-maok, a- negro, who had made certain threats because hia wife had recently beenj ouonargea irom tne service ol the family.
